But the region is also positioned as one of the Solomon Islands’ richest in terms of its unique living culture and WWII history.
For those wishing to immerse themselves in the region’s rich and ancient culture, eerie Skull Island with its skull shrines and the very traditional Ugele Village are a short boat ride away from Munda.
For WWII enthusiasts, a visit to Peter Joseph Museum in Munda’s central district is a must. Named for Infantryman Peter Joseph Palatini, whose dog tag was the first relic found by curator Barney Paulsen, the museum houses an impressive but sombre collection of tags, weapons and personal items belonging to both US forces and the Imperial Japanese Army.
And if a diver or snorkeller, Munda is an underwater paradise, known for its spectacular walls, coral gardens, and more marine life than you could shake a flipper at.
Hideaway Holidays has released a new seven-night Munda package featuring all accommodation at the waterfront Agnes Gateway Hotel complete with all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) plus return airfares ex-Auckland to Munda via Brisbane flying Qantas Airways and Solomon Airlines.
Valid for sale until 31 October 2023 and valid for travel until 31 March 2024, the Munda package is priced from $2,566* per person twin share.
